Abstract
In a traditional society like Pakistan where the role of women in the family and the society is largely predetermined, it is interesting to investigate the relevance of the standard Becker-Mincer type of human capital model, First a probit function has been estimated to analyse the factors which influence the decision to participate in the labour force, then an earnings function is estimated in terms of human capital endowments and other family characteristics.
